I contacted LG TV and they told me that the Crave TV app would not be added to their smart TV's. Crave TV also cannot be accessed through Bell 6400 receivers. I guess I will not be trying the one month free trial.

I watch it using Apple TV 3. Works great. I'm current on Windows 10. Seems to work fine on Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox, but I haven't watched it there for any amount of time.
I use the Internet Explorer browser interface (cravetv.ca) regularly for managing My Cravings (favorites).
Firefox requires an Adobe flash player install and Edge requires activation of the embedded flash player.
I have used Crave with the chrome browser in the past but today I can't even sign-in.

Thanks for the info. Flash is an issue. Support for Flash may have already been discontinued in Chrome and end of support is scheduled for Firefox. Even Adobe is making noises about walking away from Flash. I uninstalled it on all my systems but had to reinstall it for Shomi. It looks like it's required for CraveTV as well. The rest of the world is moving to HTML5. I hope these companies adopt the new HTML5 standard soon.

CraveTV is now streaming the 007 Collection–spanning more than 50 years and all six James Bond actors—from Connery to Craig. The expansive collection starts with the 1962 debut film, Dr. No, and also includes the global box office hit Casino Royale (2006), as well as the latest Bond adventure Spectre, which joins the collection in 2017.

Comment: This seems a little out of character for CraveTV, which has stuck to TV content so far. I wonder if shomi going down the tubes means that CraveTV will expand into more movies.

CraveTV announced today that, for the first time ever, new and returning SHOWTIME programming will debut on CraveTV, immediately bolstering the amount of exclusive, first-run programming on the streaming service. SHOWTIME’s award-winning hit series, specials, and documentaries will begin streaming on CraveTV day-and-date with their broadcast premieres on SHOWTIME in the U.S., beginning with acclaimed drama THE AFFAIR on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

As a result of the new strategy, CraveTV subscribers can look forward to new SHOWTIME programming on the service every single week, in addition to CraveTV’s weekly roll-out of additional new content every week on #iCraveFridays.

Following the Nov. 20 premiere of THE AFFAIR on CraveTV, subscribers can look forward to upcoming all-new seasons of SHOWTIME series BILLIONS (Feb. 19 at 10 p.m. ET), DICE, EPISODES, and RAY DONOVAN. Brand-new SHOWTIME series premiering on CraveTV in 2017 include the greatly anticipated David Lynch drama TWIN PEAKS, the dramedy I’M DYING UP HERE, created by Canadian Jim Carrey, and limited series GUERILLA, starring Idris Elba.

I was browsing through CTV Throwback and came across some new series they must have added recently. I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched. Along with Bewitched 1970s short-lived spin-off Tabitha - gosh I haven't seen that anywhere since it first aired.
Good to see some 1960s content starting to appear!
